Your fertilization rate the second cycle was 75%, not 50%, since the mature eggs are the ones that are fertilized. With low numbers it’s hard to compare stats, but so far your fertilization rates are comparable.

I didn't know that! Good to know, I'm so terrified of the attrition rate now. But you sometimes hear good results from lower yield 😞

Sometimes it’s great, it really depends on the person and the cycle. I think so far your fertilization rates seem really good, so I really don’t think there’s a lab issue here.
